皇冠体育app AIDS cases rising by 40 percent a year
The number of HIV/AIDS cases in 皇冠体育app is increasing at a rapid rate of 40 percent a year, a health ministry official was cited as saying by state media.
The health ministry told AFP that new data on the number of Chinese HIV/AIDS patients would be made public Tuesday, a day before World AIDS Day.
Until now 皇冠体育app has maintained that it has an estimated 840,000 HIV/AIDS sufferers although international AIDS experts say the actual number is higher.
皇冠体育app has admitted it does not know the real numbers. The United Nations predicts 皇冠体育app could have 10 million cases by 2010 if action is not taken.
Since AIDS was first detected in 皇冠体育app in 1985, an estimated 160,000 people have died.
Many HIV/AIDS patients were infected by contaminated blood in government-run and illegal blood-selling operations in the 1980s and 1990s.
Intravenous drug use, prostitution and ignorance about the disease are also cited as big problems in its spread.
